Nigel has been the voice of Stoke City since I started following the club and the sport itself from 1995. And to think he started reporting on the club over two decades before that - his longevity and passion can only be admired. I can’t imagine any local radio commentator has done the job for as long as he has.
I haven’t listened to Nigel on Radio Stoke for several years now since I left the city, but you never forget a voice like his. Whoever takes over has almost impossible boots to fill, but I would like to see Tom Gayle given the job if he was ever interested - another Stoke lad with a local dialect making his way in the world of BBC commentating and doing very well.
Good luck Nigel. Thank you for every single match.

Loved him describing Bonham's kit as a sort of pink outfit 🤣

Dear Nige
Could we just ask, when we win the FA Cup this year would you please make a cameo commentary appearance, late second half?
Thanks in anticipation.

Only enjoyment I get from the games at the moment is hearing what Nige will come out with this week on the commentary!
Personal favourites include Will Smallpeice and Jason Brown.

What will be even stranger with a new man in would be that he refers to the actual player who is on the ball, and not somebody else on the pitch.

I’m sure he’s mentioned players that are no longer alive.

Best Nige moment was during when fans weren’t allowed in, when he kept talking about soup with Lawro. I rip the shit out of him on here but some of the Nigeisms will be sorely missed on a weekend - and not for one second could you doubt how much he loves this club.

I liked him best when he was grumpy.

‘Coloured’ is considered to be racist. It’s ‘black’ these days (unless you’re the colour of driven snow). Older people aren’t necessarily racist but always refer to non white people as ‘coloured’. That’s how they were brought up and possibly is a more accurate description of a non white person. Hopefully most people see right through the skin colour and only see the person beneath . . . . or is that just me being wishful thinking?

'Person/persons of colour' is the most up to date term which is where some of the confusion arises, as its similar (but significantly different in meaning) than 'coloured'

I have an Asian friend who hates to be called black and prefers coloured, in fact he says he’s number 7 on the Tetley Tea colour scale
